Facebook Algorithm Changes: My Take

Well, I hate to totally disappoint you, as I know some of you were ready to launch into some earth-shattering take on how “now” it doesn’t make sense for businesses to be on Facebook because of the recent headlines about “Facebook Changing.”

My take: anything that gets users to continue enjoying the time on the platform will ultimately be a good thing for brands. They’ll know where the customer attention is.

The reality is, Facebook has and always will be a pay to play platform for brands, and it’s one that returned the highest ROI and brand awareness in 2017 among our clients.

Ultimately, while this certainly is news, it’s not really going to change the way marketing on Facebook should be done, and certainly not “if it should be done.”

Facebook is one of the top paid media platforms for brands, and still will be throughout these “news feed changes.”

I liked this post on LinkedIn as well by Amber Naslund, as she ads her perspective around how other layers of your digital marketing strategy shouldn’t be forgotten about.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
